Telemecanique LC1 to Schneider TeSys D Cross Reference — Contactors & LRD Overloads

Schneider Electric Logo

If your part number reads like LC1D0910 or LC1-D2510 — with the auxiliary contact count baked into the number — you’re holding a pre-2001 Telemecanique D2-series contactor, and the current Schneider TeSys D equivalent has a different, shorter number. The translation rule is simple once you know it: post-2001 TeSys D contactors include 1 NO + 1 NC auxiliary as standard, so the auxiliary digits dropped out of the part number. An LC1D0910 became an LC1D09 plus a coil-voltage code; the tables below run that conversion for the full amperage range, with the coil-code table alongside.

The catches are in the accessories, and they’re exactly what ships wrong when someone converts the number without the notes. Overloads: pre-2001 LR2 overload relays do not mount on TeSys D contactors — select the replacement from the LRD range (mapped below). Mechanical interlocks: the interlock design changed; a TeSys D cannot be mechanically interlocked to a D2, so reversing pairs must be replaced as a pair. Coil connections: the top-mounted A2 coil terminal is gone — the LAD4BB adapter restores a top A2 connection where panel wiring demands it. Suppressors: now a clip-on side module. Pneumatic timers and add-on auxiliary blocks carried over with renumbered references.

Run your old number through the tables, note the flagged accessories, and you have the complete modern bill of materials — or send us the old numbers and we’ll do the conversion, including the coil voltage decode.

TeSys D contactors and LRD overloads ship from stock in the common sizes, and we source obsolete D2-series originals when a like-for-like swap is the requirement.

1. The D2 to TeSys D Transition

In 2001, Telemecanique (now Schneider Electric) overhauled the contactor line. The old D2 series used a trailing “10” or “01” in the part number to denote a single built-in auxiliary contact (1 NO or 1 NC). The modern TeSys D integrates both 1 NO and 1 NC directly into the base unit, allowing the part number to shorten significantly. However, mechanical clearances, interlock mechanisms, and overload pin spacing shifted during this upgrade, making full assembly awareness critical.

2. LC1-D (D2 Era) to TeSys D Contactor Mapping

Legacy D2 Contactor Amperage (AC-3) TeSys D Replacement Notes & Configuration
LC1D0910 / LC1D0901 9A LC1D09 + [Coil Code] New unit includes 1 NO + 1 NC standard.
LC1D1210 / LC1D1201 12A LC1D12 + [Coil Code] New unit includes 1 NO + 1 NC standard.
LC1D1810 / LC1D1801 18A LC1D18 + [Coil Code] New unit includes 1 NO + 1 NC standard.
LC1D2510 / LC1D2501 25A LC1D25 + [Coil Code] New unit includes 1 NO + 1 NC standard.
LC1D3210 / LC1D3201 32A LC1D32 + [Coil Code] New unit includes 1 NO + 1 NC standard.
LC1D4011 / LC1D5011 / LC1D6511 40A / 50A / 65A LC1D40A / LC1D50A / LC1D65A “A” suffix designates standard EverLink terminal design on new units.
LC1D8011 / LC1D9511 80A / 95A LC1D80 / LC1D95 Footprint varies slightly from legacy D2.

3. LR2-D to LRD Overload Relay Cross Reference

Legacy Overload Series Amp Range TeSys D Replacement Mounting Note
LR2D13xx Series (e.g., LR2D1310) 0.1A – 32A LRDxx Series (e.g., LRD10) Legacy LR2 overloads will NOT mount to new LC1D contactors. Must upgrade as a pair.
LR2D33xx Series 17A – 65A LRD33xx Series Pin spacing differs from D2 era. Requires modern TeSys D contactor.
LR2D43xx Series 55A – 140A LRD43xx Series Independent mounting blocks available if separating from contactor.

4. Accessory & Wiring Change List

Accessory Type Legacy D2 Series TeSys D Equivalent Conversion Notes
Mechanical Interlock LA9D1110 / LA9D… LAD9R1V (varies by size) ⚠ Old interlock will not fit TeSys D. If one half of a reversing pair fails, the entire pair and interlock must be upgraded.
Coil Terminal Extension Top A2 Wiring (Native) LAD4BB Adapter TeSys D removed the top A2 terminal. LAD4BB restores it for tight panel spaces.
Surge Suppressors LA4D Series LAD4 Series New suppressors are clip-on modules.
Auxiliary Contacts LA1DN Series LADN Series Old blocks physically fit in many cases, but LADN replacements are recommended for proper mechanical seating.

5. Common Coil Voltage Codes

Voltage Rating AC Coil Code (50/60Hz) DC Coil Code Notes
24V B7 BD TeSys D DC coils often incorporate built-in surge suppression standard.
120V G7 – Most common US control voltage.
208-240V U7 – For line-voltage control loops.
480V T7 – –
